2019 Honda Generator EU2200i Owner’s Manual

Introduction

This document serves as the 2019 Honda Generator EU2200i Owner’s Manual, constituting an essential guide for the generator’s owners and operators. It contains imperative safety warnings, operating instructions, maintenance protocols, and technical specifications.

Warnings and Safety

The manual stresses the importance of safety in operating the EU2200i, highlighting two critical types of warnings. Firstly, the engine exhaust contains harmful chemicals known to cause severe health issues, including cancer, birth defects, and reproductive harm, as per California state law. Secondly, it signifies the dangers of carbon monoxide—a colorless and odorless gas. Users are cautioned against running the generator in closed or even partly enclosed spaces to prevent the accumulation of this toxic gas which can lead to unconsciousness or death.

Maintenance Overview

Regular maintenance is pivotal for the generator’s longevity and safe operation. For routine upkeep, users should check the engine oil level and air filters before each use. Also, there’s a mandate for an oil change after the first 20 hours of use and periodically thereafter according to the maintenance schedule found on page 46.

Fuel and Engine Oil Specifications

The generator requires regular unleaded gasoline with a maximum ethanol content of no more than 10% and a pump octane rating of 86 or higher. For engine oil, it recommends SAE 10W-30, API SJ or later, with a maximum oil capacity of 14 ounces (0.44 liters). These are detailed on pages 48 and 51 respectively.

Spark Plug Specifications

For the spark plug, a specific NGK model is recommended with an electrode gap between 0.024 to 0.028 inches (0.6-0.7 mm).

Initial Use and Ownership

The manual refers new owners to page 89 for initial use instructions to ensure proper setup and operation from the outset. Furthermore, the owner’s manual is referred to as a permanent part of the generator and should accordingly remain with the generator in the event of resale.

Manufacturer’s Note
